ABSTRACT
Discotic liquid crystals (DLCs) have reached from curiosity to commodity in a short span of time. Tremendous development has been observed in the field of DLCs in the past few years due to their vide-viewing display and unidirectional conducting properties. In this article, I present some aspects of research carried out by me and my collaborators on DLCs. This work was presented at the Asian Conference on Liquid Crystals (ACLC 2019) at Shenzhen, China during January 17–18, 2019.
